Liked the tour. Got to learn about the history of the region. I would recommend this tour if you are looking for a quick tour of Distillery.
You’ll definitely learn a lot about Toronto’s history that’s not very well known by most people today.
The tour was very informative and it was pretty cool to learn this much about the history of the distillery. Our tour guide Adela was really nice and always gave us time to ask questions about what she told us about the history.
It was really great overall, learned a lot about the history. The tour guide Adela was also really nice and informative. It also felt neither too long or too short, it was the perfect length.
Fascinating background information about Toronto from its early years to the present. The whisky district grew as cholera affected the population as beer and whisky were safer to drink than lake water. Our guide Mike was affable, knowledgeable, and clearly interested in the topic of the tour and in making our time together pleasantly entertaining & fun. Highly recommended!
No better way why to see the distillery district. Our guide Tom was very knowledgeable and certainly made the tour worthwhile . Big thanks to Tom. Can highly recommend this tour which is great value for money
Our guide was awesome and she brought area to life. The distillery district has a fascinating past which is revealed throughout the tour. Lots of fascinating displays within the buildings. Lots of fun and a really great way to spend an hour.
Great experience with Tom on our tour. Highly recommend
Fun tour with Tom our guide- great local knowledge & stories- had our first butter tart- 😋 . Lots of useful tips which helped us enjoy our stay here in Toronto even more.
We had a great tour with Mike on Canada Day! We learned so much about the history of that area of Toronto and got a yummy treat at the end. Thanks so much!
David have us a great overview of the history of whiskey production in Toronto and its influence on the development of the area. This was a great short tour filled with sights and historical information. I highly recommend taking it.
Enjoyable experience, tour guide was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable . Highly recommended.
Went for a walking tour with Nicole. Excellent tour and very informative. Couldn't recommend it more!
We had a great time on the walking distillery district tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto! Eric was our guide and was massively engaging and informative and just made the whole experience great fun and was really lovely to chat to as well following the tour
Although the weather was dreadful, our guide did his best to make our experience entertaining and pleasant. He very kindly offered us a taste of dark chocolate at the end of the tour. We definitely enjoyed the tour!
our guide Nicolw was absokurwly fantastic and knew so much!! go in this tour!!!
Our tour guide David was knowledgeable in the subject matter of the tour- the distillery area of Toronto.
Very informative tour of the historic distillery district with David Bernard. Packed with info and interesting facts on old Toronto.
I had a wonderful time learning about the history of the distillery. Our guide Nicole was excellent.
We took the walking tour with our guide Tom who was very friendly and informative. We learned about the area's history dating back over the centuries. It was interesting how there was an association with prohibition in the U.S. and some notorious individuals. We had not realized how many movies were filmed in the area. We had fun and it was a good value for us.
It was only us on the tour. Nicole, our guide was awesome and very informative. Interesting to learn a little about this aspect of Toronto's history.
Excellent tour to dive into the history, I've been 26 years in Toronto and did not know anything about this place till I took a tour. We really had a great time. Thank you to our guide Tom.
We had an excellent tour of the Distillary district with David. So many historical facts we would have missed had we not taken the tour. If you are interested in history, this is a great value tour!
We had an excellent tour with David. He was full of knowledge about the history of the area, and able to point out details we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended if you are interested in understanding the area..... and great value.
This tour gives you the opportunity to discover a hidden gem of Toronto. Neighbourhood full of history, cute little shops et cafes. The guide was amazing and passionate about the topic. Thank you for a perfect tour!
Erik brought the 19th-century Gooderham & Worts distillery to life with fascinating details about how the site evolved from a humble milling operation into one of the world’s largest whiskey producers. His storytelling struck the perfect balance between historical facts, humor, and local anecdotes — it felt more like a conversation with a passionate intellectual and a seasoned guide.
Erik shared his love of the history of the distillery with us and did it with humor! Highly recommend his tour. We will tell others about it.
We had a great time Erik was so interesting, funny and informative. I would highly recommend this tour, you won't regret it!
Nice hour tour of a really interesting district of Toronto. Guide super nice, enthusiastic and friendly. Tour well constructed mixing stories with history. Very enjoyable
Fun history tour and just the right length. Fascinating tour of the Distillery District. Would recommend.
This was a great tour! We misunderstood what this tour was about initially(we thought it involved tastings), but our tour guide Tom totally made the tour! He was personable, funny and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. It was an hour well spent.
Erik was a great tour guide, very engaging and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this walking tour. I grew up in the Toronto area and moved away after college. I learned a lot of information on this tour that I didn't know about the distillery district and Toronto in general.
Our guide devin was great very specific in details and very informative. Great hearing the history of the distillery district and would recommend it highly
Stopped here on a bike tour then stopped later on my own. Lots of places to grab some drinks and walk around. I went to the Flame Brewery and Mill Street Pub and they were more affordable than other bars in the city
The guide was very energetic and knowledgeable. It was a fun expedience. We got tested to a few bites of chocolate at the end & that was a pleasant surprise
Really interesting tour covering the history of the area and some extra things too. Erik was an excellent guide. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, he managed to condense the historic events and context into this hour tour. Would really recommend.
I had a wonderful walking tour with Erik today. He was extremely knowledgeable about the distillery area and Toronto history as a whole. Erik presented this history in a very interesting and often humorous manner. It was a very hot day and he did his best to keep us in the shade or in indoor cooler areas. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend.
Nice way to explore the District. It was a short walking tour but covered key historical facts about both the district and the city in those days. We were able to enter a few distillery buildings that were not open to the public. With the highlights provided, we enjoyed lunch and a little more time exploring before leaving the area.
Devin did a fantastic job of explaining the history of the distillery. He is knowledgeable and engaging. He also seems genuinely interested in the stories of the area and in sharing those stories. We loved the chocolate and beer sampling at the end of the tour. Highly recommend!
We had a lovely walking tour with our guide Devin. As it was a hot day he made sure we were in the shade for most of the time and spent some time indoors too. We learnt many new things about the history of the Distillery District. I would recomend it.
Loved the Distillery District, learning about the history of a place makes it so much more worthwhile,
Informative tour. Devin was excellent. Tour involved some looking around inside the buildings too. One hour was just right.
Our guide, Erik, was amazing! He was personable and delivered all the interesting history and information (that he can compress) during our short walking tour; he usually provides the 1 hour tour. Our visting guest and locals alike enjoyed his humour, enthusiasm and energy as he guided us through the distillery district. He's embedded with a lot of information and always encouraged us to ask any questions. You won't regret booking this tour!
David was a great tour guide and knew a lot about the art. The description did say “walking and tasting tour” but we didn’t get to taste anything (only reason this isn’t a 5 star review). I did also have to point out a bunch of different older artifacts and ask “what is that?” And he would tell us and answer questions, but I would have hoped he would point out all the things themselves (e.g., asking about the old safe, the various tools used for the whiskey making process). I quite enjoyed walking around and seeing many of the original buildings and structures in the area.
I had the best experience with my guide Adela. She was very knowledgeable and she made the experience very interesting. I highly recommend this walking tour.
Easy walking tour and very informative of the area’s history which we found very interesting. Love how they revitalized the area
Adela was great a tour guide, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. It was great to learn the history. I really wanted to see more. Tell her to stop throwing her sister Nicole under the bus, LOL! How bout adding some drinks to the tour?
Nicole was absolutely amazing! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was vs able to answer any and all of our questions. Her tour felt more like walking with a friend!! I definitely recommend taking this tour with Nicole!!!!
My tour guide was amazing, he know so much about the history of the Toronto Distillery District, it was quite interesting.
